Default New mod for my car, what a difference

I got my car lowered this weekend and I must say if does look very nice. I am running a L-sportline suspension which is rated at 1.5 front and 1.3 rear but the car looks alot lower than that. The first thing I noticed when driving the car was how nice it still rides. I love the handling and the main reason why I did it, which is for the look. The gap is approx 1 finger in the front and a crooked finger in the rear and this is before settling.

I think the car looks very substantial and the wheels flow alot better now, hope you all agree.

What a tease! Stefwilli, you should either try resizing it before attaching, or upload it into the gallery and linking it from there.

This looks like one of those places you can feel secure leaving your car. No worries...

LOL....maybe that's why you can't see his car. By the time he went to take the pic the car vanished.

Isn't that why the memorial is on the wall? "In Loving Memory of Stefwilli's Gorgeous LS"!!!! j/k

Stefan, the LS looks more gorgeous than before. Congrats on getting the proper suspension done up, great work! How is the ride affected compared to the stock suspension?

I don't know about you but I think your LS is in dire need for a Wald kit In any case, I can't wait to see it in person at the next meet.

nk1983- Thanks man and yes it stopped the grandpa feel and made it alot more sporty

lexusk8- The ride is great, I thought it would ride rough but it's just right. No more long bounces and it has great handling, believe me I already put it through some twisties. Yes doug you're right, that wald body kit is calling my name but my pockets have become ear muffs.

This brings it together...your car looks really nice.

To me, it looks more than a 1.5" and 1.3" drop. ??
The scientific test how many fingers?

Noticed you told us how many fingers. Must be this humid heat wave that is adding more confusion to my brain cells.
